I have been flying since May of this year, so still very much a new pilot (I do have my wings). I have started to look for a second plane, I would like the thoughts of some folks here.

My original thought was to build a 4 * .60 over the winter and put a OS .91 4 stroke in it, however, I have a line on an Extra 300 ARF .60 that I could get cheap and get into the air with little work (saving my valuable winter building time the 1/4 Chipmunk I have on the board right now).

I know that almost everyone will say that the 4* is the PERFECT low wing second plane, I am interested to hear if you all think that the 300 is too much for a second plane, especially for a pilot who is somewhat inexperienced.

I am not an ARF guy, this opportunity just came up and I wanted to hear the thoughts of those who have some more experience.

Thanks in advance for your input!
